Independence Day Blog Hop Winner!

Hey, everyone! Before I announce the winner of the Celebrating Independence Blog Hop giveaway, I just want to extend my appreciation to everyone who stopped by here. It was wonderful to see familiar faces and new ones, and the kind words and good wishes you all offered gave me such a smile :D Thank you all so much!

And now, because I know everyone wants to know who the giveaway winner is, it's....

Suze!

Congratulations, Suze! I'll be getting in touch with you very soon.

As always, the winner was chosen using Random.org, so that way the computer did the dirty work. I just can't pick a winner on my own. But there's two pieces of good news I can offer to everyone.

First; you can have a second chance to win one of my books this Saturday, July 7th. That day is Reader Appreciation Day at The Sweet Spot, the Yahoo Group run by me, Sloan Parker, and Jambrea Jo Jones. I'm offering up a title from my backlist in ebook as a prize, as well $15 in eBook Bucks to ARe. But I'm not the only one offering prizes. Many other authors are too, and I'll be getting a full list up soon.

Second, for those who haven't seen, you can download a free story from me, "Of Honor and Love", at Goodreads, Smashwords, and AllRomance eBooks. Whichever is your preferred choice, the story is at all three places in PDF, mobi (prc/Kindle), and epub (Nook).

Thank you again, so very much, to each and everyone one of you for visiting here!

Hop Against Homophobia Winner

Before I announce the winner for my giveaway with the Hop Against Homophobia, I want to offer my deepest thanks and appreciation to everyone who stopped by here. Reading all your messages, hearing all the ways you offer support and acceptance, how you believe in love and equality, showed there are many beautiful and wonderful people in this world. There are still many battles to be fought, but with people like all of you standing on the side of love, I believe that in the end, equality will win. Thank you, each and every one of you, for the kindness and support you give.

And now, for the winner of my giveaway. I used the same method for picking my winner that I always do, creating a list and plugging it into Random.org. It's really the best way for me, because my emotions won't let me pick on my own, so I make the computer do the dirty work, then just do what it tells me. And this time around, the tech gods picked....

Carnell!  Congratulations!  I'll be emailing you soon.

Again, my appreciation goes out to everyone who came by here. And another thank you to Erica Pike, K-lee Klein, and NJ Nielsen for the effort and dedication in organizing this hop for such an important cause.

Valentine's Day Winner!

I hope everyone had a beautiful and happy Valentine's Day! I had a great one. My little guy was my Valentine (he's three years-old), and we hung out watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates and reading picture books. Yep, it was a mommy's Valentine's Day :-) Though, the movie Bunraku did arrive at my house, and that was a nice surprise. I mean, who would want sexy Japanese rock star, Gackt, playing the role of a bad ass samurai at their house on Valentine's Day?

But enough about my Valentine's Day. You guys stopped by to see who the winner of the giveaway is! As I always do with my giveaways, I created a list with everyone who commented, and dropped it into Random.org to mix it all up and give me a winner. And that winner is....

Terri!  Congratulations!  I'll be getting in touch with you soon via the email address you posted.

To everyone, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. See so many of you stop by, familiar faces and some new ones, I'm just so very appreciative. Your compliments and sweet words gave me many smiles, and having your support means more than I can ever fully express. I've said before that my readers rock, and you do! It's always hard picking a single winner for these giveaways. But in the next few months, I'm going to be working on a sexy little short story featuring a familiar couple from the Conquest series and I'm going to post it for free on my website. That way everyone can have something for free!

Thank you again, everyone, for all your kindness and support!

Winner of the Holiday Blog Hop! And...More Giveaways!

Wow! I can't even begin say how happy I was to see so many entries for my giveaway in the Stuff Your Stockings Blog Hop! Thank you so much, everyone, for entering. I really appreciate that you guys stopped by to enter and leave such beautiful comments. You truly were the ones who gave to me, and I'm grateful to you.  I'll keep your sweet and kind words in my heart, and visit them often as I work on stories for all of you!

If you've entered my giveaways before, you know this is the hardest part for me, picking the winner. I always wish I could give something to everyone. As I always do, to select the winner I use random.org, an online randomizer that mixes all the entries and puts them in a random order. And for this giveaway, the lucky one it put on top was:

Andi

Congratulations! I'll be getting in touch with you very soon!

But for those who didn't win, there's still a chance for you to win something from me!  Today, the wonderful and talented author, K-lee Klein, will be posting an interview with me on her blog (http://chaosinthemoonlight.blogspot.com/) and you can enter to win a copy of my upcoming release, the short story "Beautiful Harmony". The copy will have to be an IOU, since the book doesn't go live until December 25th, but I promise the winner it will be in your inbox on that day! Just head over to K-lee's blog and leave a comment to be entered!

Also, on December 22nd, over on the review site, Jessewave, there's going to be a HUGE giveaway featuring tons of gay romance authors, and yep, I'm taking part in that one, too. I'm going to be offering another chance to win a title from my backlist in print or ebook. I believe with that giveaway, it's a first come/first serve basis. The first person to leave a comment stating the book/author they want, wins it. So on the 22nd, you have another chance to win one of my books, or books by any number of your favorite authors.

Thank you again, to each and every one of you for entering in the giveaway, and most of all, for your support and kindness. The greatest gift that can be given to an author is to read their work. I'm grateful to all of you for giving to me. I'm wishing you and yours the most beautiful of holidays!
